Family shares grief after son dies from overdose on small town B.C. streets
A family is calling for more resources to prevent unnecessary deaths in the community due to toxic drug poisoning.
Stormy Narcisse is living through a mother’s worst nightmare, as she had to make the hard decision to remove her son, Jordan Williams, 30, from life support earlier this month. Williams was sent to Kamloops, where he was assessed further and his family waited by his side. Doctors did not believe his brain was functioning well, family recalled.Narcisse made the difficult choice to remove her son from life support and the tubes were removed on Nov. 16. She stayed with him through the night, and in the morning he was gone.
He left behind two brothers, two sisters and a large group of extended family and friends, many he called sister and brother.But she said drugs had changed him. He and his partner came back from Smithers to stay with Narcisse in Riske Creek, having returned saying he wanted to go to Gateway Stabilization Unit, and attend Renner House, a short-stay substance withdrawal program in Williams Lake.“It wasn’t him,” said Narcisse.
